ABSTRACT The squamous odontogenic tumor (SOT) is defined as a very rare benign neoplasm, locally infiltrative and can extend to neighboring structures. This study aimed to report a case of SOT unusual involvement. A female patient, 56-year-old, smoker showed mild swelling in the chin region in the portion between the left canine and right first premolar. Axial, coronal and sagittal images showed expansive hypodense lesion in the mandibular symphysis and parasymphysis. Partial removal of the lesion was performed, which led to the diagnosis of SOT. The patient presented no recurrence during 4 years and 2 months follow-up.
